Is Stowe's anti-slavery argument supported by Eva and Tom's death scenes? In Uncle Tom's Cabin the death of Eva and Tom can be symbolized as a heroic victory for the liberation of the other characters, who are slaves. Stowe parallels these two Christian figures, Eve and Tom, with the death of Jesus. Both characters who die have similar attributes that are emphasized throughout Stowe's novel. They both had faith in God and created a change in slavery after their deaths. Many characters showed a lot of grief over the deaths of Eva and Tom. These two death scenes leave an indelible memory in the other characters and in the reader of the novel. Keeping in mind that Stowe intended to develop these two scenes to develop his argument that slavery should be abolished, I will discuss how Eva and Tom affected the characters and the reader. The death of Eva and Tom can symbolize many effects in the book. . Their faith makes the comparison to Christ a great parallel for the reader. A common thread between the two characters and Christ is that the deaths are sacrificial and critical in nature to the saving of others. Wherever Tom is sent as a slave he seems to give the strength of faith along with love to the other characters. Even though Tom is a slave, others seem to respond remarkably to his thoughts and beliefs. He maintains his sincerity and refuses to betray his fellow slaves at the cost of his life! Eva, unlike Tom, is not a slave but is seen by everyone as a nice character. Even though we can distinguish similarities between the two characters and Christ, I feel that Tom is more like Christ because they are both male, they both suffer physically, and they both get beaten when they express their beliefs. The characters in this novel seem to believe in Tom and Eva's messages while they are alive, but when both characters die it seems that their lives leave a lasting impression on Christianity and the wrong doings of being a slave owner. As a reader, I felt like Stowe made Eva and Tom's deaths more important than life itself. Eva's death does not occur through the sudden collapse of the slave system, but is shown to be valuable through her conversation with Topsy and the way Miss Ophelia responds to her after Eva's death..
